   I don't think I've ever heard anything positive about Zig. Every time I've seen the project mentioned is them using bizarre black and white moral judgements to justify stupid decisions.

   Things do seem a little off. If you check both the website and the LinkedIn you'll notice a strange motif of AI-generated women with cat ear headphones.

   Outspoken vegetarians (nowadays more so vegans) are generally stereotyped as preachy, judgemental buzzkills.

    Why not live like the luddites won? Why not move to a cabin in the middle of the forest and only live with the level of technology they wanted to stay at under the guise of "protecting skilled labour" (all technology since 1785 me

    To draw an incredibly stretched comparison to vegetarianism instantly tells me everything I need to know about the way you think. It's overwhelmingly sanctimonious.

    If you believe in an ideology almost identical to another ideology you can't expect people not to draw comparisons.

    It is in no way a false equivalence. Are you saying that if you write a book directly inspired by another you shouldn't be required to pay the author of the book that inspired you, unless you become successful, then you should be held

    "They" don't "take your work", your work is still there, and it only reproduces said work in the way that anybody writing a fantasy novel inspired by Lord of the Rings is plagiarizing Lord of the Rings.

    I'm not opposed to the message but it perplexes me the amount of people who bemoan the loss of the "old web" and then use a web page comprised of massive modern frameworks to deliver said message.

    I think Github Copilot is in the process of slowly winding down right now. They've been putting very, very long (multiple day) rate limits on users for various esoteric reasons for weeks now and just yesterday or so paused signups.
